Wedding with Dan Pettus
Last weekend, I worked with Dan Pettus, a wedding photographer located in Temecula. My job was an “equipment runner.” Mainly, I was switching lenses, cf cards, carrying anything heavy. Then I suggested to Dan that I shoot for a while, so I used the 2 lenses: the telephoto, and fisheye. The telephoto was good for me to use because it allowed me to stay out of everyone’s way. The fisheye was perfect for the reception. I positioned myself right in front and it gave a good distorted angle. The dinner party was interesting, lots of running around with 2-3 cameras dangling from my neck. I learned that not everything goes as planned for a photographer, for example, the two flashes we had ended up malfunctioning on us during the party and because the lighting was so dim we needed an artificial light source, so I had to hold a model light to light up some of the shots.
Having the chance to work with Dan Pettus and his crew is a great opportunity and experience. Everyone is very professional and fun to work with.
Sample photos I took from the wedding will be posted soon!
